Visual CV - Reflection

There are several different things that I liked about the Visual CVs. First of all, I liked how the online Visual CVs allow us to put a face to our resumes. Furthermore, Visual CVs also allow us to make our resumes a little more personalized. In fact, we are given the chance to really express ourselves and share with others more personal information than we would with a typical resume.

Visual CVs also give people the chance to visually share with others their different accomplishments. For example, my colleague and I prepared and organized activities for a Halloween party at the school in which we did our practicum, Alliance. On my Visual CV, I will definitely make use of this feature by sharing pictures from the event as well as some of the information sheets that were used.

I have also had the opportunity to attend one of Barbara Coloroso’s sessions on anti bullying. In order to share with others the knowledge that I gained through this, I would like to include a short clip from one of her speeches on my Visual CV.

Just by viewing the examples, I learned the different things that can be included in a Visual CV. The things that I found most useful were the inclusion of pictures and images, posting links to personal or professional blogs, giving the CV a colour theme, adding videos or sharing accomplishments. Also, I learned that with a Visual CV, we can easily apply for jobs online. Overall, there was nothing that I did not like about the Visual CVs. I found that they are very impressive and am very excited to create my own!
